[QUOTE="Supergrand, post: 218112, member: 2801"] I have added a Pioneer SX410 to my growing pile of vintage equipment - see pics. My question is: the output valves are 6BM8 types. Not that they need replacement - unit sounds wonderful - but when the time comes, can these be replaced with ECL 82? Also in the pic is a Rogers HG88 mkIII amp with ECL86 output valves. I hear that these are very rare. Are there any more readily available equivalents? The amp plays but very softly and is noisy. All help appreciated.
